About Me
Sara grew up in West Jordan, Utah where she graduated valedictorian from West Jordan High School in 2012. Choosing to stay close to home she enrolled at the University of Utah. Sara originally majored in Biology, but has since been drawn to Biomedical Engineering to better suit her desire to problem solve. Before joining Dr. Anderson’s lab, she was a member of an evolutionary genetics research group led by Dr. Michael Shapiro. For her senior project in the Biomedical Engineering program, Sara worked with CT and dual-fluoroscopy data to analyze patient-specific hip kinematics among a control patient population. Sara has received research funding from multiple sources including ACCESS, UROP, and BioURP. Outside of school, Sara loves running, backpacking, and traveling to the Wisconsin Northwoods where she enjoys fishing and swimming.
